Casting rod recommendations?
Agree with the 7' MH SLX rod. Good all around rod and suits that reel perfectly
-
Is rod/reel aesthetics super important to you?
Perfection ?
-
Sc vs fg knot
FG when prepping at home, double uni on the boat like OP.. if it ain't broke...
-
Which rod(s) pull (s) double duty?
I have a couple I use for dual purpose... that is.. until the rod collection increases lol. Shimano SLX 610M- jerkbaits and poppers Simano Zodias 7ftML- Ned and dropshot Megabass Levante Tour Versatile- jigs and Texas rigs
-
Zodias ML or M for light jerkbaits?
Yep. ML for light jerkbaits. Zodias line is pretty stout
-
Double uni knot v. FG knot
This!
-
Dedicated jig rod
Love the zodias but they feel a power over what they are rated... MH feels like a H. Go with the Mh
-
Kissing fish
If I'm on the water for 2 hours without a bite and all of a sudden a bass decides to join me in the boat (even if it's just a 1lb fish), you best believe he's gettin sum lovin. 1- Blow kiss to bass 2- Remind him to "Go tell his friends" 3- Release fish ....Sometimes it works ?
-
Sit or stand ?
Standing most of the time. I'll start sitting when I'm frustrated that I can't find fish ?
-
Cork vs foam rod handles
Split grips are a must for me... I just don't like the feeling of a full handle. As far as cork or EVA, I have both. May try the winn grips at some point.

Minn Kota Powerdrive V2
Pedal went on mine as well.. Ended up going with the CoPilot attachment and never thought about getting a new footpedal after that.
-
Do you throw a chatter bait on the same rod as a spinner bait?
I use the same for chatterbaits and spinnerbait.. I see them as the same.
-
What do else do you use your jerkbait rod for?
Usually jumping between jerkbaits and light topwater
-
Shimano Zodias vs Megabass Levante?
I find the tour versitale perfect for setting the hook on Jigs What do you use it for? I'm thinking about this as my next purchase
-
Texas rig/jig rod length
7' is my go-to for t-rigs and Jigs.. Seems like a good compromise in accuracy and leverage on the fish
